Shopping; Alo yoga Goddess leggings, Lululemon Swiftly tank

I banned myself from any shopping in March, but life never goes as planned, right?

I'm posting this thread assuming I'm not the only one who cant defeat shopping demands. 

I have leggings from Lululemon, Lorna Jane, Zella and Gap. I love all my leggings. They just have all different cons and pros.  I love trying leggings from different brand.  I didn't have much chance yet, but hello~ we're living in 21st century.  I searched web and found Alo yoga brand.  Actually it wasnt hard to notice this brand.  It's quite popular via instagram and I have saw some of their goods from Nordstrom too.  I really loved their Goddess leggings 2, but they're all sold out.  When they get them in stock, I will just buy them right away.

They have shorter inseam (about a inch) and I love its diagonal shape. 

It will make my legs look longer.  I want them in black.

Instead, I ordered Goddess leggings in purple pennant / stormy heather grey.  I wanted something other than black/grey color, yet I wasnt ready for poppy colors.  These colors are perfect for what I wanted.  Maybe they are little too dark but who cares.  I got them at $65.50 w free shipping, no tax from www.orchardmile.com  I cant wait till get them!!! Loot!!

I also purhased a Swiftly tank from Lululemon.  I love their Swiftly but too pricey.  They are great except the fact that it really easily get snagged.  So I set myself a rule to buy Swiftly tank. Get it when it's under $30.  They rarely sell these under $30, but sometimes they do. You need to stalk their sales rack on local shop though.  

There was red bon bon color on WMTM for awhile.  I liked it but it was $39 and that doesnt meet my buget for Swiftly.  I looked website again and they lowered the price as $29.  Only for my size and red bon bon color.  Snatched it. Yay.

I feel bad for breaking my spending ban month rule, but I also feel excited to see my new outfit.

Yoga; maternity yoga

I never had a blog, and this is my very first blog post in my whole life.
I had some time to think what to write on my first post and decided to talk about what I care for the most recently.

Yoga.

I started my first yoga when I was pregnant.
I wanted to exercise to make perfect natural delivery when it's time.  My doctor recommended yoga, and there was one place where taught maternity yoga near my house.  It was little pricey for my budget, but I felt like I had to do it.
Starting yoga twice a week was not hard for this pregnant lady.  I actually really enjoyed meditating and building internal connection with my baby before she was born.

Maternity yoga is not too much different than any other yoga.  It also requires strength, flexibility, and balance.  Just for your safety, it's good to have a chair and blocks for support.

There are certain poses that were not recommended;
deep twist, back bend, and some other poses that needs ab strength.  No hot yoga.

I guess it was a couple weeks before delivery.  I had huge belly and she came in 8.9lb

There were lots hormone attacks during pregnancy, and yoga really helped me a lot to go through it.  It helped to get my anxiety away often.  I was one of the best yoga student in maternity class, and I was so excited to have perfect deliver.  Unfortunately, my cervix didn't open enough and I ended up having C-section.  I guess yoga helps during your pregnancy, but it's not a total solution to have a perfect natural delivery.

Since I was a new mom who doesn't know how to care a baby. I have too many conflicts.
I completely was away from yoga for almost a year and a half and I needed something to get it over with before I comoletely crash emotionally.  I restarted yoga.
I still struggle sometimes and now yoga helps me a lot to go through it again.


I started to write without knowing what really to write and I just did.
It's not a perfect blog post but I will write something better next time.
